Oh god Ron I have just bumped into an old wargaming acquaintance called Ed. There's a man who has not easily skipped towards charisma. I panicked and talked about your Gangs of Rome podcast. There's no place like Rome in a crisis. If I were a crueller man I might have thrown pebbles at him. The audience is still out on that latter option. With best wishes.

Ron this is clearly off piste and I apologise for it. In all my long wargaming life and despite many a rulebook, rpg or skirmish, I have never found anything that has captured the Wild West. The first boardgame I ever had was bought for a Christmas long ago and was Waddington's Battle of the Little Big Horn. I have a Western Town without rules. Philosophically that's great but without rules I might as well throw marbles at my painted toys. This is not going to happen. I would appreciate any recommendations. It's not classical but it's where the buffalo Rome.

You never cease to surprise me Ron. You are uncommon. I think my dear chap that is the least of our problems. You have my best wishes sir. You are, by God, a gentleman and I thank you for it.

Always a pleasure Ron. As you may well know I am still troubled by nerve damage to a fingertip cut occasioned whilst stripping flash from Carnevale figures. Happily I shall blame you entirely as old men are accustomed to do. As always with thanks. Fortunately my Subbuteo soccer career has not been unduly ended since I am right handed. We flick to kick if you have ever essayed the game. So many football careers have otherwise been ended prematurely by the dubious advice of American wargamers.

Another well-presented and informative guide.

How about an update. A few of these companies are now out of business. Are you aware of any new ones?

Couldn't tell it was green screen 😆thought you were sitting in gigantic chair.

I’ve been using Battlespace Deluxe for my co-op wargaming but the progression/narrative 5 parsecs provides has me interested, im curious how the combat compares, I really liked Battlespace’s measuring card system over a grid or measuring tape and the high lethality of it

Great games play, where did you get those buildings and the 3d printed measurement card?

I’ve fallen in love with these goofy little guys having a horrible time on the battlefield

Now there's an idea. I really enjoy the Chain Reaction mechanics. Pairing that combat with a good campaign system would be interesting. I can't say you convinced me to buy Five Parsecs because I already had. But thanks for the review. It's always good to hear input from folks who have played the games I'm trying to get to the table.

Nice, I didn't know about the new rules. Thank you for bringing attention to it.

Excellent review! Played a campaign of original Five Parsecs and I'm really excited to get this new compendium and try it out!

This looks pretty cool. Kind of wish I could see them close though for the detail.

Great review, will definitely check this set out. I just printed out the rules for INCOUNTRY (or INX), I wonder how they compare? Cheers!

Thanks again for the golden uncommon

Good review, please set close up camera on the light cast side, that way when you show a book it has better lighting and can be seen.

Excellent!

Bump for the algorithm - just bought the starter set so I really appreciate being able to get this overview!

Great game!

For solo play throughs it should be close enough to the intent of the game to just not look at the card until after the sides 3rd action. As for the results where the opponent controls the mini just do the worst thing for the figure in question, which you did.

Definitely going to require some house ruling. This is the second battle report I've watched from different players and each group has made different choices about how they apply the rules. Namely penalties for range and diving for cover.

Thanks for posting this tutorial. this makes it very easy to follow along when learning how to play.

just ordered myself a box, looks great. Excited to try out

I was watching this post of yours again. It rewards revisiting. I don't know whether you know this but the early Wild West skirmish games of Colwill, Curtis and Blake were very popular in seventies England. I moved on to the Rules with No Name and have £250 worth of never to be assembled Western buildings. I think it was as simple and misguided as recalling a misspent university youth as the grizzled Marshall hunting down my old friend Dirty Pete McKenna and his outlaw rabble in an imaginationed Western County. Dirty Pete's long gone, goldarnit, shot down by the vagaries of life, bushwacked by ambush or by cancer so I heard. One can go back Ron, but one goes back as an older man, I trust still a gentleman, but we do tend to encounter ghosts, also grown more transparent with the passing of the years. As always thank you for your work. Avoid ghosts unless playing gothic horror or if I may recommend one of my favourites. Chaos in Carpathia.

what a beautiful setup

Nicely explained and presented. Tempted...

Congrats on 1k subscribers! I've always enjoyed your videos. Love your Black Site Studios content. Have you tried Demonship?

Just bought my first Quar

Holy shit Quar content

The "Green Egg" of 3D Printing

What are the dimensions of this particular printer?

Splendid Ron. Perhaps you can print me out a 52 year old Irish woman who is good at cooking. I know many Americans think we Englishmen are gentlemen, I can assure you we are not. Excellent I think I have insulted everybody, my job here is done. I shall rush out and beat up a pauper. Looks like it's going to be a good day again. As always with thanks. I love this hobby.

R.i.p. Sherpa.

Advice: Not all 3d files are equal. If the person making the files don't test print, they may just be selling 3d art assets as 3d print files. They don't always print the best. :)

Just in time for the Force of Virtue Kickstarter.

My old friend Peter is having a break from painting his 16th century Italian figures and is painting his front door. I doubt he will rival the masters of the Renaissance. I had that Michaelangelo round once to paint the bathroom. All I wanted was blue paint, two coats on the ceiling. Obviously I got the Sistine Chapel. 'Personally I love it Michael, but my wife has to sit in that bath looking up. Could we row back a little on the willies".

Superb and just starting my Gangs of Rome set up and this review is an excellent guide to some of the buildings

A nice intro as I start thinking about trying to use d&d for an ECW SP campaign

Does sprinting count as 2 actions on the rhyfler? If not why wouldn’t you always sprint no matter what

Ron, I had played the Escape from San Canciano expansion before the England match yesterday. In many ways I had preferred it to the core set. The rulebook was not overburdened with fluff. It's a disappointment that the figures are still bedivilled by flash. I had bought the first two retail editions of Dungeon Saga Origins and the figures are so much better. As for the Dutch I understand they inhabit low lying polders and houses of ill repute and burned Rochester in the mid to late 17th century for which I have not yet forgiven them. It behoves English gentlemen to administer a damned good thrashing to such scurrilous fellows which is, of course, exactly what we did. We have cliffs, they do not, it just makes it easier for us to look down on them.

Great stuff! Love seeing FoV in action until I can actually get it on the table!

Excellent video! I was looking to improve War on Christmas Village and Pulp Alley is just the ticket! I have a ton of Gingerbread men and Snowgoons so this should be a win win situation.

Great to see! Yet another amazing video! It's so cool your wife plays too!

Is it one combat action for a quar per round or per one whole cycle through the deck?

My god! It’s full of Quars!

Have you ever played the 15mm version of this game?

Love the game! I must also say that is a glorious shirt!
